The music of Brooklyn-based Violet Sands is an ethereal soundtrack for a rite of passage, harnessing the alluring vocals of Deidre Muro (Deidre& the Dark, previously Savoir Adore), the inventive production of David Perlick-Molinari (French Horn Rebellion) and the cinematic, classical-tinged arrangements of Derek Muro.
Embracing themes of beauty and the struggles of transitioning from one phase of life to another and a dreamy mix of nostalgia with the present, their genre-bending approach began attracting a following after they quietly uploaded two tracks to Soundcloud in 2016. Those tracks gained traction after a number of blogs organically picked up the songs, leading to the release of the “Strange Attractor EP.”
The trio followed up with the release of their debut album “Hotel,” and shortly thereafter, a collaboration with DJ and producer Justin Faust yielded the single “What Do You Feel” - with a Jean Tonique remix that has continued to bring in new listeners to date from all over the world.
2023 sees Violet Sands back in collaboration, with the band members spread between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, exploring the next chapter of the project.
